Quoth The Raven

They're looking at evacuating them because there's not a drop of water in either place and it's costing thousands of dollars a week to truck it in. It's been figured it'll be cheaper to relocate the inhabitants than continue to bring in water over the long term.I don't know too much about this subject, but have heard there are reductions in the water rights for fruit growers etc, obviously this would impact the production of crops, but how much I don't know. Farmers have been suffering for years now. The suicide rate for males on farms has increased dramatically. I have not heard anything about any such evacuation plans for any city. Why would you evacuate a place?
They've done nothing about it as yet, but last I heard it was a serious consideration.
